hey i was trying to teach a friend of mine how to play brikwars, but it felt like i steamrolled her with info and non of the fun, how can i introduce people properly?
Have a basic minifig card available. That has tons of the basic info you need. Also consider adding rules over time. So for your first game, just a handful of minifigs with a few different basic weapons (handweapon, shield, heavy, maybe a short-range or long-range weapon). Ignore things like MOM/POP, MOC's, d8's, complicated weapons, supernatural stuff, and the like for the first game. Then, when the very basics of moving, action, and combat are down, introduce other elements.
When I played with McLovin for the first time, all minifigs except heroes had essentially the same stats (aside from equipment differences). Only in our most recent game have I added ideas like explosions, fire damage, 3" creations, bailing, and cover.
So just start as basic as you possibly can and build complexity from there.
